Renee:
What Lupin lacks is moral courage, but he did fight Death-Eaters with
the other members of the Order, risking his life (he got almost hit by
an AK during the fight at Hogwarts), and he went undercover with the
werewolves, a dangerous job, as Greyback is in league with Voldemort
himself. He's courageous enough, just not when he's afraid of being
disliked. Where does it say that Gryffindor only stands for moral
courage? But I admit Neville's got more courage than Lupin. Actually,
I think Neville is one of the most coureageous characters in the
entire series.
